Hello Clay, The problems with the Toshiba laptops appear to be occurring only with those running Vista, and concern the display of the background dots in both Lace 2000 and Lace R-XP.
I now know of three ladies running Vista on a Toshiba laptop who don't get a full screen of background dots - what they get is a column of dots down the page, and then a section of white...another column of dots, and one of white. The programme draws OK in the white areas, everything works quite OK - it's just that they don't have background dots for sections of their screen. There are a couple of ways around the problem, one of them being to use the lines on the screen, so that the screen looks like graph paper, instead of the background dots. I have two experts here, and the programmer in England, who all insist that the problem is not with the programme, but with the video driver or screen driver programmes (whichever term is used locally) which Toshiba is using. The suspicion is that Toshiba is skimping a bit on the variety of drivers they're putting into their systems. Is your copy of Lace 2000 working OK on your new laptop? If so, then you will have no problem with Lace R-XP. To be on the safe side, why don't you download the demo version and have a look at that? If you're going to have the problem, then the demo version will show it up for you very quickly! But if your copy of Lace 2000 works OK, Lace R-XP should be OK too. Hope this helps - and hope the news is good for you!

I have a Toshiba laptop on which I've run Lace 2000 for a few years, and had no problem. So when I decided to get a new laptop, I got another Toshiba - about a week before you mentioned that there were problems with Toshiba and R-XP. So now I'm wondering if I should even consider getting R-XP. I have been shocked at how much of my tried-and-true software will not run on Vista. Everything is calling for an upgrade, and frankly, I don't know if I want to shell out several hundred dollars more on new programs! The older computer is still working well - we just wanted to have another for a variety of reasons. So I may use them for different purposes, with my old favorites on the older computer. Thanks!
